Photographer's Note

Nocturne shot of the jetty of Mytilene the capital of Lesvos island.The Baroque dome you can see is from the Cathedral of San Therapon.

Mytilene

Mytilene (Greek: Μυτιλήνη) is the capital city of Lesbos, a Greek island in the Aegean Sea, and capital of Lesbos Prefecture and the Northern Aegean region. It is built on the SE edge of the island. Mytilene, whose name is pre-Greek, is also the seat of a metropolitan bishop of the Orthodox church.

Geography

Mytilene is linked with a highway numbered (GR-67) linking to Skala Eressou on the other side of the island of Lesbos. Farmlands surround Mytilene, the mountains cover the west and to the north. The airport is located a few kilometres south of town. The city was called Midilli during Ottoman times.

A cathedral by the seaside! how lovely!
you chose the best hour to capture this magnificent scene and scenery: the town is shining with artificial lights and the sky is still inflamed by the setting sun: so charming! And the golden reflection on the sea makes the image even more appealing. Mytilene looks very interesting from this photo and it makes me feel like going there!
Excellent work,
Donato

The reflections on the water of the sea are assets to the composition. The point of view is showing the details and colors pof the architecture of the cathedral. Using an exposure speed of 1/8 of a seconds and probably a tripod has a good effect on the colors. Have a nice day.

Namaste Danos,
beautiful perspective here. Nice to see this night shot with the reflected light in sea. Great exposer control and fine DOF. Very good composition with the lighted sky. Tfs.
Best wishes.

Hello Danos, Marvelous sunset shot of this city with the dominating church in the center its lighting providing a soft bright look. It looks like there might be some people or an outdoor cafe on the right. A bit to dim to really tell, but has lots of color there. Very well done. Regards, Roger

Impressive sunset photograph with all the street lights already on, very nice shot with vibrant color hues and high sharpness. Well done. Thanks for your critique of my fisherman town, however the pollution is not to blame for the red color of the soil. The soil contains a high content of iron.

Good day.
Us in our high heat.
Excellent motive and the moment ...
Nice view of the beautiful architecture show you a good text and excellent work, I congratulate you for your time recording.
A pleasant afternoon, this is a nice watch and enjoy, Paja.

Superb nocturne shot with the dored light which arise very well in the black of the night. Incerdible and very nice reflections in the water well collected too. A night shot rich in various details well collected too.
Have a nice evening,
Roger

Excellent work, my friend.

Geia sou dear Danos, this nocturnal shot is beautiful, the soft tones of the sky and sea look so romantic. I can see that the lighting was difficult here and at 1/8 of a second probably needed more light. However, if you did not have a tripod, more than 1/8 second is too difficult and you must have a seady hand. Excellent work, TFS and I wish you a beautiful evening, Lisa

Hello Give Us.
Very beautiful photo with the first lights of the night, the grand building meets magnificent at the edge of the sea surrounded by the lights of the city, precious sky even with the tonalities left by the Sun.
Excellent managing of the luminosity with a good brightness of image.
Best regards.

Hi, Danos. The white buildings of the sea front are well placed in your image. They stand out against the sea in the foreground and the silhouette of the hills and the orange sky in the background. A well-constructed image with good light.
Have a nice evening,
Philippe

Hi Danos,
wow, I am really impressed. I love this work.
Incredible colors and the great clarity at the same time create a fantastic effect. I can feel like I was there. The surface of the water is amazing it makes an excellent intro into the coastal view. Everything is beautifully decorated with this wonderful sky with a unique color. Beautiful place, excellent work, congratulations!!!

Ciao dear Danos,
very beautiful nighttime image, with a pleasant game of reflexes on the sea. Interesting the graphic and architectural effect of the dome in contrast with the dark silhouette of the BG. Excellent work, dear friend, rich of lights and details.
Ciao, have a nice week end!

Hello Danos,
Although this is a night shot, it is very colorful and bright due to the well chosen time of capturing and point of view. The composition, management of light and colors and photographic qualities also are excellent here. Perfectly good job!
